Tasting Profile
| Look: | Deep garnet through and through, with a beautiful magenta at the very edge of the glass. |
|---|---|
| Smell: | Bright and fruity, with fresh blackberry, boysenberry, and blueberry balanced by black olive, sweet tobacco leaf, vanilla bean, violet petal, rosemary, sage, and black peppercorn. |
| Taste: | Absolutely delicious, with a palate similar to the nose, highlighted by fresh and candied berries, sweet tobacco, smoked meat, sweet vanilla, sage, and spicy black pepper. |
| Finish: | Luscious and almost impossibly soft, this is a truly fantastic wine with a well integrated finish highlighted by structured tannins and a very balanced acidity. |
| Pairing: | A classic French meal of steak frites. Season the ribeye with herbes de Provence and grill to perfection, completing the meal with a dollop of Roquefort cheese on the still warm steak. |
